Roger Therry

Sir Roger Therry (22 April 1800 – 17 May 1874) was an Irish-Australian jurist and member of the New South Wales Legislative Council.

By the influence of Canning's widow and friends Therry was appointed commissioner of the court of requests for New South Wales.

[4] Therry appeared as junior to Attorney General John Plunkett in the prosecution of 11 colonists charged with murder in relation to the Myall Creek massacre.

Governor George Gipps, in a dispatch notifying this to Lord Glenelg, referred to Plunkett and Therry as the "two most distinguished barristers of New South Wales".

Therry was nominated to the new Legislative Council on 22 May 1856,[1] (by then the upper house of the New South Wales parliament) whilst remaining a judge of the Supreme Court.

[2] Therry's Reminiscences of Thirty Years Residence in New South Wales and Victoria was published in February 1863,[2][7] and immediately withdrawn.
